Love So Sweet

639 You May Kiss the Bride

The door was pushed open and the music was played.

The wedding planner stood at the side as she instructed the bridesmaids to enter the hall first.

Fang Su Jin waited for her turn with her father by her side. Then, she took a few deep breaths, trying to keep her calm.

Just then, her father held her hand tightly and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Fang Su Jin turned to look at her father and saw him smiling in assuring her.

“Don’t be afraid,” Father Fang spoke. “I am right here with you.”

Her lips curled up into a smile.

Just then, the wedding planner told them that it was their turn to enter the hall.

Father Fang offered his arms to his daughter and waited for her to put her hand into his arms. The father and daughter exchanged a look. Then, with the wedding planner’s cue, the two of them finally entered the hall together.

.....

Fang Su Jin felt a rush going through her body as she looked into the hall.

There were many people inside and the hall was decorated beautifully with fresh flowers and ribbons. However, her eyes were staring up ahead.

At the end of the road, there was someone waiting for her.

Although she could not see his face at this time, Fang Su Jin could sense Zhang Yi Hai’s gaze. In the hall, the guests were all watching her, but Fang Su Jin thought that Zhang Yi Hai’s gaze on her was the hottest.

Just as she was about to reach the stage, Zhang Yi Hai came to meet her halfway.

He looked at his bride for a few seconds longer, admiring her good look. Only then did he shift his gaze to Father Fang.

Seeing the unhappy look on Father Fang’s face made him cough. “Dad.”

Father Fang narrowed his eyes and snorted. Just as he was about to say something, her daughter was already squeezing his arms, signaling him to be nicer to Zhang Yi Hai on her wedding day. Father Fang finally realized where they were and decided to let Zhang Yi Hai go.

“Zhang Yi Hai, Su Jin is the only daughter I have,” Father Fang spoke. “You have to protect her well, care for her and love her. If you dare to wrong her, I will not let you go.”

Zhang Yi Hai had a serious look on his face. “Dad, I promise to always be by Su Jin’s side to protect and love her.”

Father Fang was still a little unhappy, but at this time, he knew that he came to send his daughter to marry Zhang Yi Hai. Since he had agreed to this marriage, of course, he should not back away now.

Fang Su Jin turned and hugged her father tightly.

After whispering a few words to his daughter, Father Fang took Fang Su Jin’s hand and placed it on Zhang Yi Hai’s. He pursed his lips into a thin line, but he was silently giving his blessing for the couple to marry.

With his bride’s hand in his, Zhang Yi Hai then led her over to the altar until they were both standing in front of the wedding officiant.

The music stopped and everyone began to keep their silence as the ceremony began.

Fang Su Jin stood in front of Zhang Yi Hai and the two of them peeked at each other shyly.

The wedding officiate spoke a few words to welcome the guests to the wedding and spoke briefly about the couple’s relationship.

After a while, they finally came to the important part.

The wedding officiate looked at Zhang Yi Hai and spoke, “Zhang Yi Hai, will you take Fang Su Jin as your wife, to love her, to cherish her, and to support her in times of joy and in times of difficulty? Do you promise with your heart and soul to honor this vow until death do you part?”

Zhang Yi Hai stared at his bride and smiled. “I will.”

Then, the wedding officiate turned to Fang Su Jin and asked her the same question, “Fang Su Jin, will you take Zhang Yi Hai as your husband, to love him, to cherish him, and to support him in times of joy and in times of difficulty? Do you promise with your heart and soul to honor this vow until death do you part?”

Fang Su Jin inhaled a deep breath before answering, “I will.” A bright smile appeared on her face as she spoke those words.

The wedding officiates watched as the groomsman and the bridesmaid stepped over to deliver the couple’s wedding ring.

It was Zhang Yi Hai’s turn to go first. He held the ring in one hand, and Fang Su Jin’s hand in the other.

“Repeat after me,” the wedding officiate spoke. Then, he spoke the vow for Zhang Yi Hai to say to Fang Su Jin.

“With this ring,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. His eyes were staring straight at Fang Su Jin. “I pledge my love and faithfulness to you for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live.” With one swift motion, Zhang Yi Hai slid the ring onto Fang Su Jin’s finger.

Then, the wedding officiates turned to Fang Su Jin and repeated the same words to her. “With this ring, I pledge my love and faithfulness to you for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health for as long as we both shall live.” Then, the ring in her hand slid onto Zhang Yi Hai’s finger.

When she looked at Zhang Yi Hai, Fang Su Jin did not fail to notice the bright smile on Zhang Yi Hai’s face. Looking at him and the ring on his finger made her feel more at ease.

At this time, she was thinking that it was good that she was marrying Zhang Yi Hai.

The wedding officiates looked at the guests. Then, he shifted his gaze to the couple again. “Now as everyone as my witness... I now pronounce you husband and wife.” His lips curled into a smile. “You may kiss the bride.”

Zhang Yi Hai smiled as he stepped forward. His arms encircled Fang Su Jin’s waist as he pulled her closer to him. Then, with one swift move, he bent down and caught his bride’s lips with his.
